[Foma Gordyeff by Maxim Gorky]@TWC D-Link bookFoma Gordyeff CHAPTER VI 13/35
My mind is dull, but I can feel that you wish to hide yourself.

She moved her body forward and said with alarm: "Oh, cease." "No, I won't, I will speak!" "I know what you want to say." "You don't know it all!" said Foma, threateningly, rising to his feet.
